US OPEN 2009 2009 trip to New York

Broad and I went to the US OPEN again this year, but we had semi-finals tickets this time and the good thing was it was not as hot as last year. Its just a good time going out and walking around the grounds because their is a good spirit of fun just being there. I forgot how much it cost to eat there and that when you get on the ground they have you and if you are hungry you need to get it from them. I had a hot dog, frys, a cookie and a drink that cost me $21.oo.


This stadium is the biggist tennis stadium in the world holding 22,000. We had seats up high but we were on the side unlike last year (we were on the end), but the seats are good any where you sit.










One of the two matchas we watched was the Williams sisters doubles match.



Time Square fun 2009 New York trip

I like going to Time Square and looking in the shops and watching the people. We went to three musicals this year, and if we had more time I would like to have gone to one more but it gives me more to see next time I go. We saw Shrek which I didn't know that I would like very well but it turned out OK. The sets were the best. We then went to see Bye Bye Birdie and other then some good dance routines and some good songs it was OK, but not my favorite. The last day just before going to the Airport we went to Rock Of Ages which was totally cool. It's probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite musical that I have seen.










We had lunch at the Stardust Cafe which is a cool cafe were the waiters all sing old rock songs to you as you eat and drink milk shakes like I had to have.




The first day I had to go to Time Square and get some pizza at Pax, its not the best pizza in town but I like the mushroom and cheese. I have always been told that New York Pizza is the best but I don't think there pizza is as good as Papa Murphy's take-n-bake here at home.





Time Square is cool at night and now they have added tables and chairs out in one of the streets so you can sit out and watch the people.

Baseball in New York

We had to go and watch the Yankees play a game while in town and what are the chances we get our tickets three months before we go and it ends up being the game where Jeter brakes the all time hit record set by L0u Garig. I have liked the Yankees since I was a little kid and Jeter is one of my favorite players.




It was fun to go to the new stadium the first year it was open and to go to the old stadium last year was time I will always remember.


This is Jeter hitting his record braking hit 2722, it was so cool the crowed went crazy, it was worth setting in the cold and rain to see it. The game was one and a half hours rain delay and then called in the 7th for rain.







We were there for Erik's Birthday, it was grate fun we went out for dinner at the Tavern On The Green and we gave here present at here apartment. We gave her a cook stove for backpacking.

Here are some more picture from New York
Tavern On The Green for Erika's Birthday it was so cool and the food was so good and it was expensive but I would do it again. I had Lobster Bisque for the first time and I could have just had a big bowl of it and called it good.


We called ahead and had them make a cake for Erika and I must say it was so chocolaty it almost gave me a buzz.


This is the wrong picture I wanted to put in put I did spend one morning in Central Park.
